Motion by Councillor Laura Price

Meeting: 06/11/2018 - County Council (Item 32)

Motions by Councillor Price, Fox-Davies, Azad and Howson

"The greatest strength of local government is its ability to embrace openness and transparency, working with and for the people we represent to strive for the very best services and the most effective use of public money.

 

To ensure that Council is committed to this fundamental principle we propose the Monitoring Officer conduct a review of:

 

1. Any meetings including Members relating to Council functions and informing decision-making which are held in private

2. Timings of meetings

 

The review will be reported back to Audit & Governance Committee to form an action plan ensuring the maximum amount of business is held in public and that meetings are scheduled at times which enable the widest possible access to elected Councillors."

The time being 4.15, this motion was considered dropped in accordance with Council Procedure Rule 13.5.8.
